When local activism challenges higher authority -- The evolving power of cities -- The evolving intergovernmental environment -- Today's urban environment -- Activism as a strategy for policy change -- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights activism -- Immigration activism -- Foreign policy activism -- Reexamining the role of local governments.
When state and federal governments intrude, abdicate responsibility, or prove unable to respond to local needs, how can cities fight back? How can they promote and defend their own interests? Addressing these questions, Lori Riverstone-Newell explores the emergence of local policy activism and its impact in a number of state and federal policy arenas.
